HMIS Health 2 Flammability 1 Instability 0

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal Precautions Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Material can create
slippery conditions.
Environmental Precautions Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Methods for Containment Contain spillage, soak up with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth,
diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and transfer to a container for disposal according to local /
national regulations (see section 13).
Methods for Cleaning Up Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers.
Neutralizing Agent Acetic acid, diluted.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing.
Do not breathe mist.
Storage Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
Metal containers must be lined.
Freezing will affect the physical condition but will not damage the material. Thaw and mix
before using.
Storage Temperature Minimum 7°C Maximum 46°C
Storage Conditions Indoor X Outdoor Heated Refrigerated

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Guidelines
Component Malaysia PEL Singapore OEL (PEL) ISHL ACGIH TLV
Sodium hydroxide Ceiling: 2 mg/m3 no data available no data available Ceiling: 2 mg/m3
Sodium polyacrylate no data available no data available no data available 3 mg/m3 PNOS

Engineering Measures Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Where reasonably practicable
this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction.
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory Protection In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection When workers are facing
concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators.
Eye/Face Protection Tightly fitting safety goggles. Face-shield.
Hand Protection Protective gloves.
Skin Protection Wear suitable protective clothing, Impervious gloves.
General Hygiene Considerations Wear protective gloves/clothing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are
close to the workstation location. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
